This policy brief presents the foundations for an integrated multi-stakeholder approach to improve the facilities and services in slums and LICs. The “integrated approach” involves identifying and addressing the key “interrelated challenges” simultaneously and in a systematic manner.

An “integrated approach” (Knowledge Product – 3) has been proposed for holistic development of slums and low-income communities (LICs). The approach has been developed based on assessment of existing situation and challenges in slums and LICs, review of slum development approaches/experiences in different countries, and through extensive consultation involving all stakeholders. The “approach” involves identification of issues and challenges in urban slums and LICs under “four broad categories”, and then addressing the “interrelated issues and challenges” under each category systematically in an “integrated manner” involving all stakeholders including the LGI itself, I/NGOs, development partners, and other concerned agencies.
